Ergosterol as an indicator for Ectomycorrhizal abundance associated with Red Oak and White Pine roots

Project Abstract: 
In this study we will focus on determining the strength of mycorrhizal symbiosis associated with two species of trees, Quercus rubra and Pinus strobus. I will be using ergosterol, the dominant sterol in ectomycorrhizal fungi, as an indicator of fungal biomass.
